President Obama likes to call on corporations that are currently fleeing the United States and incorporating overseas as being unpatriotic.

OK, fair enough; but would it not also be fair to inquire what the administration considers patriotic?

Is the 39.1 percent corporate tax rate (the highest in the developed world) considered patriotic? Is stifling American businesses with overreaching regulations patriotic?

How about crushing the coal industry, while it flourishes overseas, and driving up the cost of energy for all Americans — is that considered patriotic as well?

Of course, there’s the unique patriotism of unleashing a government agency upon conservative groups to skew the political process while publicly declaring there is not a “smidgen” of corruption there.

Leaving our borders wide open for tens of thousands of illegals to cross while declaring the border as secure must be a special form of patriotism.

I would not have imagined that deploring the inefficiency of an agency like the VA while allowing the scandal to fester on an unprecedented scale including the deaths of veterans would be considered patriotic.

After declaring our national debt “unpatriotic” in a 2008 campaign speech, then allowing it to surge to over $17 trillion dollars must be another form of patriotism.

Falsely blaming the infamous Benghazi, Libya, attack on an anti-Islam video and promising to “get that guy” despite the truth being known is just another example of patriotic fervor.

Ignoring the U.S. Constitution for his own political agenda and purposes must be the highest form of patriotism while withdrawing America from the world stage and thus allowing chaos, military adventurism and terrorism to flourish is just a sort of run of the mill patriotism.
